after doing what I suspected was a much needed oil change, I thought I'd go out and see the difference in feel.
Whilst doing so, I couldn't help route via a little-used 'link-road' near me. It's a fairly new, totally flat and pretty much straight 2km stretch of road between two roundabouts a few miles from my house. Having warmed the engine, I thought I'd try 0-60 and in-gear acceleration.
8.4 secs to 60, and the overtaking acceleration as only half a second behing the MG ZTV8. So seems pretty healthy!
...couldn't really think of any other reason I'd want a stopwatch on the trip computer :-[

Thats easy, its for when you go for a run, they time you see stopwatches do ::)

well I thought of that but i run faster without an omega strapped to my belt. My Timex ironman is much more user friendly!

I managed 7.8 0-60 with a 2.6 get practising!!!!

it's an auto! so other than holding it on the brake at 1500rpm, there's not a lot other than 'boot it' to do!
Interestingly; sport mode takes just over half a second off.
didn't think to try LPG at the time! doh!

Did do it, get a good launch and used good petrol - BP expensive stuff I think

I need to bring my AP22 to the next meet and we'll have a shootout. ;D
.. an a private test track, of course.

Will have to speak to Martin Hill and see if we can get a loan of one or two...

Would be interesting. Mine is a very old one which I picked up cheap. It predates all the GPS and track mapping stuff but does what I wanted at the time. Be nice to play with some of their more modern toys though. :D
